'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
'''Key Status/Updates:'''<br/>
*We have now passed the feature freeze point for 2.7
* YP 5.0.20 is under review.
*YP 2.7 M2 rc2 is out of QA and being readied for release. See: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/WW07_-_2019-02-14_-_Full_Test_Cycle_2.7_M2_RC2 and https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Project_v2.7_Status#Milestone_2_-_Target_Feb._1.2C_2019
* YP 6.1 M3 is due to build and we are at feature freeze
*We now have resulttool, buildhistory and build-performance all working with the autobuilder and will be using this as the primary QA mechanism going forward. More details can be found here:
* There are issues with changes in bot/AI protection at github.com which are affecting our CI.
http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-architecture/2019-February/001591.html
* Most M3 changes have merged, we want to mitigate the github issues before building M3.
*There were some serious usability issues found with multiconfig, those have been fixed in master and thud.
* There is a new meta-openjdk layer: https://github.com/amarula/meta-openjdk https://lore.kernel.org/yocto-patches/xBB4.1788187111192557019.ULaN@lists.yoctoproject.org/T/#u
*Various recipe upgrades made it in, thanks to all who contributed. Several recipes also converted to meson including glib-2.0 and gdk-pixbuf.
* AI scrapers and bots continue to impact the infrastructure, taking huge amounts of time for our sysadmins and with a significant cost impact to the project.
*We now need to build M3 as we’re past feature freeze point for 2.7. Right now we’re aware of the following things which ideally need to be resolved first:
* There are two AB-INT issues which are in a position where others could now help, as detailed in https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/242105:
**Bug 13178 “X server and matchbox desktop don't start up properly on beaglebone” needs to be fixed
** Matchbox-wm segfault/xserver restart
**Find the framebuffer problem with qemuarmv7 and switch to that
** aarch64/x86-64 build host contamination/reproducibility issue
**Several ptest issues would be addressed (missing openssl tests, 3 timeouts)
We get a lot of comments about these being hard to reproduce or work on, in both cases, these have specific well defined things which need to be done and a basic understanding of what the issue relates to, if not the actual fix.
**Arm build host issues identified and resolved
*Remaining intermittent build failures of concern:
*It’s unlikely we’ll switch to virtgl by default for 2.7 due to lack of testing from the community although the base patches for this have merged.
**other qemu ‘hang’ type issues on ARM
**sometimes yocto-check-layer is showing checksum mismatch issues
**intermittent ptest failures in many recipes
*Progress was made on some of the risc-v speed differences in qemu which should help some of the autobuilder intermittent failures, thanks Trevor!


'''Planned Releases for YP 2.7:'''<br/>
'''Ways to contribute:'''<br/>
*YP 2.7 M2 rc2 is out of QA.
*We have several open issues for pseudo and limited maintainer time to work on them. Help from someone familiar with systems programming in C would be greatly appreciated. https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=661406&priority=High&priority=Medium%2B&product=Pseudo&query_format=advanced&resolution=---
*YP 2.7 M2 Release Target was Feb. 1, 2019
*There are a large number of intermittent failures on our autobuilder, any help with investigating, reproducing or solving these issues would be welcome! https://valkyrie.yocto.io/pub/non-release/abint/
*YP 2.7 M3 Cutoff is Feb. 25, 2019
*Many recipes in openembedded-core would benefit from a new recipe maintainer. Please look at https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/conf/distro/include/maintainers.inc and see if you can adopt any of the unassigned recipes.
*YP 2.7 M3 Release Target is Mar. 8, 2019
